Cummins ISL oil leak while running

[timjet]

OK, I got the engine cleaned up and took it for a 15 mile drive.

I can not see any fresh oil above the oil pan.

What you are seeing is the front portion of the oil pan with fresh oil clearly visible. This fresh oil was not there before I drove it.

I need to get an alignment tomorrow, so I'll clean the area again before driving.

Looks like the oil pan gasket is leaking.

OK, I'm going to try and change the oil pan gasket myself. Any words of wisdom?

Question: how heavy is the oil pan? Will I be able to maneuver it or will I need to brace it somehow.

Question: If the pan does not disengage from the engine block, how do I get it loose?
